Chapter 16 The Yuan Army Strikes

It is worth mentioning that more than ten goshawks that Hu Li had domesticated in the grassland before could already serve as the duty of letter eagles, and the intelligence work around the three cities had finally been perfected. Although Yuan Shao is now fighting for territory with Gongsun Zhang, and it is winter now, it is inconvenient to send troops, but Hu Li knows that after the spring of next year, Yuan Shao will definitely send troops against him, so Hu Li, Zhao Yun, and Xia Houlan have not relaxed their vigilance for a moment, and they are all doing their best to train the army.

In Zhending County, Hu Li and Zhao Yu spent a festive Spring Festival, ushered in the spring of 196 AD, Hu Li has come to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty for two years, Hu Li has also transformed from a lonely ordinary person into a small prince with three cities, more than 130,000 people, and also has Zhao Yu's beautiful wife and Hu Yu's lovely son, as well as brothers who were born and died together, in order to protect this hard-won everything, Hu Li did not dare to relax for a moment, and practiced martial arts and literature every day.

On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Hu Li was practicing archery in the courtyard, when suddenly his own soldiers hurriedly walked in with a scout, Hu Li put away his bow and arrows, and asked, "But there is an army coming towards us?" ”

"If you go back to your lordship, there are about 20,000 troops in the direction of Xiaquyang, and the target is Geng Township, and Lord Xiahoulan specially asked the villain to come and report." The scout replied.

"Who is the commander of the enemy army? Have you ever found it? ”

"The banner of the enemy army is Chun Yu, and the commander should be Chun Yu Qiong."

"Yuan Benchu really looked down on me Hu, and even sent his henchman Chun Yuqiong, but unfortunately what he didn't know was that this person was a silver-like wax spearhead, which was useless. You go back and tell Uncle Xiahou, and say that Zijin will lead troops to support with the second uncle, and they will arrive in two days. ”

"No!" The scout hurriedly returned to Gengxiang to tell Xiahoulan.

Two days later, Hu Li and Zhao Yun each led 3,000 troops to Gengxiang City, and together with Xiahoulan's army stationed in Gengxiang, there were a total of 11,000 people, including 1,000 heavy cavalry, 3,000 light cavalry, 1,000 heavy infantry, 2,000 pikemen, 2,000 sword and shield soldiers, and 2,000 archers. Chun Yuqiong's army has 5,000 cavalry and 15,000 infantry, and is stationed 30 miles outside the city.

After the army rested for a day, Hu Li led all the troops out of the city fifteen miles the next morning to call for the formation of Chun Yuqiong, hiding the heavy cavalry and heavy infantry behind the formation, and the light cavalry to protect the two wings. When Chun Yuqiong marched the army to a distance of about two miles from Hu Li's army and set up a formation, Hu Li single-handedly marched to the middle of the two armies and launched a provocation against Chun Yuqiong, originally Zhao Yun wanted to come by himself, but Hu Li said to him: "Second uncle, your prestige Chun Yu Qiong must have heard of it, he may not dare to go out to fight, and you have also seen this soft armor on my body, plus the armor I wear outside, he Chun Yuqiong will definitely not be able to hurt me, and my Xiaobai's speed he can't catch up at all, you can rest assured that I will knock him off the horse." , and then you just lead the heavy cavalry into battle. Zhao Yun saw Hu Li's confident look, so he nodded and agreed with him to go into battle.

Chun Yuqiong saw Hu Li, a stinky boy who had not dried up, provoked himself, and saw Hu Li's extraordinary white horse, his eyes showed greed, and said to the deputy general: "This kid doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, he dares to pick up the tiger's whiskers, this is to send a head and a BMW to General Ben, and wait for General Ben to stab him off the horse, you immediately lead the army to cover up and kill, and you will be able to break the enemy in one fell swoop." After saying that, Chun Yuqiong knocked the horse's belly lightly, went out to meet the battle, and waited for Chun Yuqiong to restrain the horse at a distance of 100 meters from Hu Li, Hu Li took a closer look at Chun Yuqiong, and saw that Chun Yuqiong was about 1.85 meters tall, with a strong physique, a majestic appearance, and a bright silver armor would also make him majestic, no wonder he would be reused by Yuan Shao, who judged people by his appearance, and then Hu Li used the system to check Chun Yuqiong's data.

Name: Chun Yuqiong

Force: 87

Intelligence: 75

Chun Yuqiong's ability is also passable, but he is greedy and misguided, which makes Yuan Shao miserable and defeated. After learning about Chun Yuqiong's ability, Hu Li rode Xiaobai to kill him, and the two fought in front of the two armies. Both of them use guns, Chun Yuqiong's 87 force is much higher than Hu Li's 80 force, but Hu Li has a bilateral horse pedal hidden behind the saddle to help, plus Hu Li is wearing armor and soft armor inside, with double insurance, it is expected that Chun Yuqiong can not break his own defense, so he only cares about attacking, regardless of defense, although he was shot by Chun Yuqiong a few times, but Hu Li was not injured at all, but the marksmanship became more violent, Hu Li's unexpected fighting style made Chun Yuqiong scramble, The two of them were on par for a while. At this time, Hu Li secretly canceled the owl's pet quota, domesticated the war horse under Chun Yuqiong's seat, and then showed an unbearable posture on the surface and retreated to his own position, Chun Yuqiong chased and killed two hundred meters when he felt that the situation was not right, and he wanted to turn the horse's head and retreat to the position, but the war horse under the seat suddenly lost control and put Chun Yuqiong on the ground.

The situation suddenly took a turn for the worse, because he was informed by Hu Li in advance, Zhao Yun, who had expected this result, hurriedly led a thousand heavy armored iron cavalry to kill the Yuan army, poor General Chun Yuqiong just woke up from the dizziness of falling off the horse, and was trampled into flesh by the charging heavy armored iron cavalry, and the Yuan army, which suddenly lost its commander, suddenly became in chaos, and the cavalry on both wings of the Yuan army was also disrupted by the infantry who scattered and fled because of Zhao Yun's heavy cavalry, and it was impossible to organize an effective counterattack. After being killed by Xiahoulan's light cavalry, more than 1,000 people were killed, he left his infantry and fled back to Xiaquyang.

This battle lasted until the evening, the Changshan army killed more than 4,000 enemies, captured 12,000 Yuan troops, countless grain and grass baggage, all the infantry were captured, and only more than 3,000 cavalry fled back to Xiaquyang. The Changshan Army suffered more than 500 casualties and 800 minor wounds, which can be said to be a complete victory. After cleaning up the battlefield, the Changshan Army returned to Gengxiang and held a huge celebration banquet.

The next day, Hu Li and Zhao Yun took 4,000 cavalry and 1,500 infantry to escort 12,000 Yuan army prisoners back to Zhending and Jiumen, Geng Xiang still left 5,000 troops, but they were all replaced by infantry, Hu Li did not take the opportunity to attack Quyang City, so as not to stimulate Yuan Shao, hoping that Yuan Shao would still focus on pinching each other with Gongsun Zhang, so as to win valuable time for Hu Li to develop and digest the prisoners.
